Trade-Ideas LLC identified Synergy Resources ( SYRG) as a weak on high relative volume candidate. In addition to specific proprietary factors, Trade-Ideas identified Synergy Resources as such a stock due to the following factors:

SYRG has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $15.3 million.

SYRG has traded 116,959 shares today.

SYRG is trading at 2.75 times the normal volume for the stock at this time of day.

'Weak on High Relative Volume' stocks are worth watching because major volume moves tend to indicate underlying activity such as material stock news, analyst downgrades, insider selling, selling from 'superinvestors,' or that hedge funds and traders are piling out of a stock ahead of a catalyst. Regardless of the impetus behind the price and volume action, when a stock moves with strength and volume it can indicate the start of a new trend on which early investors can capitalize (or avoid losses by trimming weak positions). In the event of a well-timed trading opportunity, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends and a disciplined trading methodology should help you take the first steps towards investment success.

TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Synergy Resources as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, expanding profit margins and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.

SYRG's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 6.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 147.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.

The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, SYNERGY RESOURCES CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.37 versus $0.16 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.60 versus $0.37).

The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 947.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1.00 million to $10.43 million.
